"Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object."

My week days were so terrific...with meeting deadlines...but this quote always kept me motivated... :)...may be it will do to you too ;)

"You can eat an elphant if you do it one bite at a time. "-Robert Riley

and so....I finished my deadlines..by the end of friday...I could only think of watching a peaceful movie and relax at home ...:) isn't that strange for a person like me ...that too on a friday evening hahaah ...

"Self love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting."- William Shakespear

Well...I decided to watch 'In Custody' starring all great actors..Shashi Kapoor, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi, and the list goes on...its actually based on a novel written by Anita Desai.

"Language exerts hidden power, like a moon on the tides"~ Rita Mae Brown

But this movie really touched the cord of my heart...how 'Urdu' is fading away...in todays era...infact I always loved this language for its politeness and sweetness...and the poetry...!!!

"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."~ Robert FrostThis movie left a sad thought...but Shashi Kapoor has done such a wonderful job..and I was thinking how come these ppl never got any awards...and ppl like Saif Ali...got National Award...for what.. 'Hum Tum'...damn is it the value of that award degraded or.....!!!!

I have read this book DON though I have seen the movie only partially.Om Puri & Shashi Kapoor r great actors & I think they have won national award in the era of parellel cinema in the 80's. incidently Kapoor's wife Jenifer also won it for 36 Chowrangee Lane.

As for Saif i liked his acting skills in Hum Tum & Parineeta. Though its true that these awards are not always given on merit only.

@bombayite: I have not even heard of something like that...may be I will try :)cheers!

@manish: yes I agree they have received in there times but then...just make a judgement how well they perform irrespective of getting even listen for as nominees...and something like Saif...acting ws good movie ws good..but then...National award winner Adoor Gopalakrishnan kind of ppl - where they stand and where these ppl stand...its a point to think ...everyone does one or the other way like Big B...so what..does he get national awards for all..am not even sure if he has got any :)well...thnx for coming by...my blog misses u :)cheers!
